The compliance date for the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) is Jan. 1, 2023. There are significant changes from the current law, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the following:
- The CPRA no longer includes the employee exception, which means that California employees, applicants, emergency contacts, beneficiaries, independent contractors, and members of boards of directors have the same rights as any other consumer. Generally speaking, employees may request that the company disclose to them the personal information collected on them and or request that this information be deleted or corrected. Employees may direct the company not to sell or share their personal information, and each employee has the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. Employees have the right to access personal information and to know what personal information is sold or shared and to whom.
